For out new couch in the new living room I want to try knitting a doily in thicker yarn to make a blanket, just as the Hemlock-ring-blanket . There are so much nice patterns out there. Won't use doilies, but will use blankets and I imagine them as very nice!

There is so much out there on the internet that I would love to knit... (after I have finished all my WIPs and UFOs). As well as those many that I already have bookmarked or printed out or that are in my books and magazines. But I have yarn in stash that I WILL USE before I buy anything new. So isn't it a need to look around...
I am still not sure what to do with my precious yarn from the Odenwald sheep as well as the even more precious Ouessant yarn as brought from the island under difficult circumstances (but the island is worth the trip with all the suffering I went through on the boat!). And the alpaca. And the blue mohair.
Am so looking forward to see all my yarns and books and magazines again and sort through and decide what gorgeous things to do.
Not to speak of the sock yarn... will continue knitting from that stash, too. Next socks to knit are for Sweetheart again, Regia 6ply Tweed is wanted. Have some jeans blue, some navy blue and and some light grey he can choose from. And then another Lorna's Laces for me or also 6ply Tweed depending on the weather that we'll have then. Right now it is more spring like and I tend to the LL but it might get cold again and I could need some warmer socks being outside a lot.
But first of all I NEED and WANT and WILL free some of my needles! This is fun, too! (If I come across something that is no more fun I'll rip it!!!)

I chose to finish will be the vest I made for Sweetheart's birthday. As I wasn't sure for the length I didn't finish it at the shoulders. How right I was. It is a bit too short. Maybe not wide enough, too... so we decided I'll add about an inch then string backs and front on some scrap yarn and he'll do the trying on which was a bit scary with all the circulars hanging down. So this might take me another night or two watching TV.

Had a cold last week... Felt bad, my heart rate raising already with normal - not even that, with slow walking. But had a good 4 times 5 minutes of very slow running yesterday. All dogs with me on leash.

... and was very good for my knitting! The second Pretty Sock is nearly done, just the toe decreases are missing. Might get that done tonight. Makes me feel good! Some new socks to wear and something else from my UFO list to mark it "done". Leaving me withthe decicion what to choose next...
... and wasn't good for finding missing things. Still no sight of the battery charger. So still no photos. Makes me feel bad!

After completing those socks and thinking about what to knit next I decided to finish things first before starting something new - so I pulled out a nearly finished first sock in a stripy Regia cotton yarn, India colours I think, and a pattern I got from Jeanie T. . I love the pattern. I love the yarn. But I think it wasn't the best idea to combine the two. I think I have another colour combo of the same yarn and I will do that one in stockinette or some zigzagging pattern. And I will definitely use Jeanie's pattern again with a solid yarn!
Yarn splits but is ok to knit with.
